Review: Jingle Bell Wolf by Terry Spear

Title: Jingle Bell Wolf
Author: Terry Spear
Publication date: October 26th, 2021
Series: Wolff Brothers #2

Summary: USA Today bestselling author Terry Spear brings you the wolf shifters you've been wishing of for Christmas in this action-packed paranormal holiday romance!

It's almost Christmas, and Florida gray wolf shifter and veterinarian Gabrielle Lowe has been talked into going with her friends to a ski resort in Silver Town, Colorado. But when her two jaguar girlfriends are held up on a mission, it not only leaves Gabrielle alone for the holidays, but also out of her element at the snowy resort. Determined to make the best of it, Gabrielle takes a dip in the lodge's heated pool--after it's closed, of course...

Gray wolf shifter Landon Wolff is part owner of the ski lodge and he's got enough on his plate getting ready for the annual influx of Christmas visitors. The last thing he needs is a rebel, indulging in a midnight swim long after the pool is closed. Just as he's about to throw the rule breaker out of the pool he realizes that Gabby is also a wolf. Suddenly, all the rules change... Maybe Landon will finally find the wolf he's always wanted to share the holidays with.

Review: I really enjoyed this book from the beginning. I'm not sure if it's because of how simple it was laid out or it's all around cuteness. I've been in a bit of a book slump but this book was just very easy to read. My only complaint is that things got over explained and repeated a bit too much for my liking. I understood it the first, second and third time it was stated. I didn't read the first book but you don't really need to, to understand this book.

Review: Holiday Ever After by Jill Shalvis

Title: Holiday Ever After

Author: Jill Shalvis

Publication date: October 26th, 2021

Summary: Three fan-favorite Jill Shalvis novellas are together for the first time in this holiday anthology!

One Snowy Night

It’s Christmas Eve and Rory Andrews is desperate to get home to her family. Problem is, her only ride to Lake Tahoe comes in the form of the annoyingly handsome Max Stranton, her long-time crush, and his big, goofy, lovable dog. A long road trip in a massive blizzard might be just what they need to face their past…and one steamy, snowy night is all it takes to bring Max and Rory together at last.

Holiday Wishes

When Sean O’Riley shows up for his older brother’s bachelor weekend, the last person he expects to see is Lotti Hartford, the woman he lost his virginity to a decade ago. As the weekend continues, Sean realizes he wants to leave his hook-up life behind, but can he convince Lotti to open her heart to him again?

Mistletoe in Paradise

Years after their secret fling ended, Hannah isn’t eager to see James during their families’ annual joint holiday-themed yacht adventure. But when they’re the only people who show up, James and Hannah are stuck together on the high seas for days. As the former lovers try to make the best of the Christmas snafu, they soon realize the best things in life can’t be planned, and sometimes love is sweeter the second time around. 

Review: I didn't read the excerpt, I just picked the book so I didn't realize it was three in one. Upside I happened to love this author so much I was willing to blind pick any book they write.

At first I definitely had a hard time starting this book but I stuck with it and it quickly hooked my heart. It ended up being such a sweet, quick story. Makes me want to know more about them. I love how it doesn't matter if the story starts as an enemies to lovers, second chance they all end absolutely beautiful. Very minimal sex scenes, which means it just focuses on their short story. The second story is a bit less Christmas but just as sweet as the first one. It was a cute and quick read but I'm going to have to give it 4 stars. One Snowy Night absolutely tore my heart to shreds.
